Webinar: Making the Case for Early STEM Learning- 2016-11-02TechSoup
Explore how to make a stronger case for early STEM experiences. A FrameWorks research into American public thinking revealed that people assume that science, technology, engineering, and math are highly specialized areas of knowledge that aren’t appropriate for young learners. In turn, this limits public support for the policies, funding, and programs that can foster early learning in these vital areas. We'll discuss and explore proven, practical ways for early childhood advocates to talk about why and how early STEM matters.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.
This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.

3. “A decade ago, a
review of Australian
science
education, revealed
many students were
disappointed with
their high school
science. Today, this
disenchantment
continues, as
evidenced by the
declining number of
students choosing to
study science in
senior secondary
school.” Prof. S. Cory
5. “If our kids are going to live longer than us, they need to
have a passion for learning to sustain them. Not content
knowledge, but learning to learn. One eighth of the 21st
century is gone already – get cracking with 21st century
learning” Stephen Heppell
6.
7.
8. Today’s learner’s are:
• Multi-taskers
• Digitally literate
• Mobile and connected 24/7
• Experiential and Social
• Visual / spatial learners with
• Fast response times & short attention spans
9. • The Power to Engage
• Students use technology already
• It's not going to go away...it will only grow
• Professional development
• Employers want their workers to use internet tools
10.
11. “Teaching is an art form not
a delivery system.”
“A tool is only as powerful
as the creativity of the
person who uses it.”
“A cupboard full of
instruments does not
produce music – a suitcase
of web tools does not lead
to creativity on it’s own.”
Sir Ken Robinson

13. I get overwhelmed by all the choices –
there are so many different web2.0 tools
and informative resources to use!
Try a social bookmarking site:
14. How can I get to know my students better
at the beginning of the school year?
Try using Survey Monkey or
Google Docs to create a
student survey about their

19. Peter Barnett, Geologist
from Hot Rocks Ltd.
Connecting with experts in the field increases motivation
and engagement by allowing students to ask questions and
actively participate in presentations.
20. Participation in web conferences with ActWild,
facilitated by the Melbourne Zoo, develops student
knowledge and empathy for our wildlife.
21. Students collect data
about tree growth to
upload to the
Smithsonian Institute
website, where
scientists use the data
for climate change
research.
22. In 2011 and 2012 I have used
Blackboard Collaborate to teach
Unit 3 and 4 VCE Environmental
Science to students from
different schools around the
state. We connected for 90
minutes each week
synchronously and used my
blog, email and Facebook
asynchronously.
We have met at Ecolinc, Bacchus
Marsh in term 1 and at
EcoBeach Apollo Bay YHA during
term 3 holidays.
23. How can I find out what my students
already know about a topic?
Try creating a group word cloud using
Google Docs and Wordle or Tagxedo.
24.
25.
26. How can you encourage students to
connect different concepts or show their
understanding of how ideas are related?
Inspiration (edustar), Bubbl.us (online) and
Freemind (download) are free digital mind
mapping tools that are easy to use and
display on blogs.
27.
28.
29. How can mobile devices be used effectively to
enhance science learning?
Use mobile phones to scan QR codes, take
pictures or record data during excursions
and trips outside into the school garden.
30. Students can create their own webpage in a wiki and
use the URL to create a QR (quick response) code that
directs the user to the information in their webpage.
31.
32. How can you encourage students to work together,
collaborate on projects and share their results?
Google Docs and Wikispaces are free tools
that allow students to work together online.

http://energychallenge.wikispaces.com/
34. How can students describe experiments or work
together to explain the results of investigations?
Voicethread is a simply wonderful way
to use images with audio and text.
35. My students have difficulty remembering
definitions of scientific terms – how can I help?
Quizlet and Flashcards db are online tools where
students can create digital Flashcards, which can
be used online or printed out. There is a similar
app for iPods and iPads called Flashcardlet.
36.
37. How can I help my students
revise effectively for tests?
Quiz Revolution (formerly My Studiyo) is a free tool for
creating online multiple choice quizzes. It is simple for
